Agriculture and Agri\u002DFood Canada (AAFC) has written to the city with concerns about how shadowing from the building would impact research on the Experimental Farm lands.
On Wednesday, the committee will review the redevelopment proposal at 1081 Carling Ave. to replace an eight-storey building with two highrise towers — one at 16 storeys and the other at 27 storeys.According to a report by Derrick Moodie, director of planning services, planning, real estate and economic development, the staff recommendation is that the committee recommends approval of the zoning bylaw amendment for 1081 Carling.
“The community requested further consideration be given to the built form, density, height, transition to the abutting low-rise neighbourhood, traffic, parking, the existing traffic barrier on Hamilton Avenue South and environmental impacts ,” the report says. “The CHNA supports the need for intensification and smart density, but it must be done responsibly,” Karen Wright, president of CHNA, said in a news release. “The City’s decision on 1081 Carling Avenue could set a trend for unacceptable transition, height and density for future developments in established neighbourhoods. Councillors in other wards should understand that this decision could affect future rezoning requests to add high-rises in their communities.
